Originally, Cui Yunrong had not expected Lin Yuan to be able to defeat him in a chess game.
He didn't even think that Lin Yuan could continue to compete with him for over half an hour.
Cui Yunrong only wanted to show off a little in front of Lin Yuan.
But what Cui Yunrong did not expect was that Lin Yuan's chess skills were actually better than he had thought.
From the first step, everything seemed planned, and from the next step to another, he was forced to meet a dead end where he could only regret in the end.
Seven times in a row, Cui Yunrong, veteran chess player, was defeated.
“Come again!” Cui Yunrong refused to accept defeat.
His skill in chess was the best among all the players in their surroundings. How could he lose to Lin Yuan?
It was not only Cui Yunrong who was in disbelief.
Even Cui Susu, on the side, was also very surprised. He knew that his grandfather was very good at chess.
But Lin Yuan seemed to be better off, even destroying his grandfather. Is this just pure luck?
They had doubts only in the first half. But in the second round, Lin Yuan proved that it was not just luck.
In the third, fourth, to seventh game, Cui Yunrong lost in a row.
And each round was completed quickly.
It didn't even last for five minutes.
Cui Yunrong's hands trembled as he had not expected that the chess skill he was proud of would be tested.
Cui Susu looked at Lin Yuan with more admiration.
Not only was he very handsome but he also played chess very well, which made him even more charming.
In fact, Cui Yunrong's chess skills were not bad at all, at least at an advanced level.
However, Lin Yuan's current chess skill had reached the divine level.
Both are not on the same level. But in the eighth round, Cui Yunrong finally won.
Cui Yunrong jumped in excitement.
He raised his head excitedly only to see a faint smile on Lin Yuan's face.
Cui Yunrong immediately understood that Yuan had deliberately allowed him to win.
Indeed, this one is intentional and very clear.
Cui Yunrong was stunned for a moment.
He only said only one round but, in the end, he did not even mention the painting after losing seven rounds.
This was the reason why Lin Yuan let him win and returned to him naturally.
Cui Yunrong understood why Lin Yuan did such a thing.
He smiled bitterly at Lin Yuan, arched his hand, and said: "Thank you, Little Friend Lin. Dear. I'm too old and I don't expect to play chess against a young man. It is ridiculous that I say that if you can refrain from losing for at least half an hour, you win. Unexpectedly, I was the one who would not even hold it for half an hour and lose every single time. ”
“But Little Friend Lin's chess skills are amazing. I'm really amazed.”
Lin Yuan smiled and said lightly, "Old master Cui, you flatter me."
Cui Yunrong turned to Cui Susu and said: "Susu, go back to our residence and grab Wang Mian's 'Ink Plum Blossom', and give it to Little Friend Lin."
Cui Susu shook her head and said: "No, I won't go."
He didn't want to leave because he was afraid that Lin Yuan would disappear after he left or that Lin Yuan would leave soon after he had the painting.
But Cui Susu still called someone to bring the painting.
After some time, a soldier in military uniform handed the painting to old man Cui and then left.
Lin Yun was not surprised at how respectful the soldier was towards old man Cui.
Cui's own parents used to have high positions in the military.
And although Cui's old man retired, some of his sons were also known in the military.
It could be said that in Yanjing, the Cui family was quite strong, and Cui Yunrong was like a boss that most people had to subdue.
This time, Cui Yunrong happily opened the painting and showed it to Lin Yuan.
Cui Yunrong smiled and said: “How? Isn't this 'Ink Plum Blossom' Wang Mian you want?”
Looking at the painting, Lin Yuan's eyes twinkled.
The distribution of this plum ink painting is very rhythmic.
The long branches are sparse, the short ones are dense, and especially full of stamens.
The middle of the petal is compact crooked.
“Excellent plum blossom painting!” Lin Yuan said excessively.
"Ha ha's. Since you want it, then I'll give it to you. ” Cui Yunrong also had no problems and directly rolled back the painting and handed it to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan also picked it up directly with a smile on his face. “Pak Tua Cui, let me transfer fifty million now. I am really ashamed to take such a valuable painting without giving anything in return.”
After hearing this, Cui Yunrong's face became firm. “Little Friend Lin, don't underestimate the old man. Let me save my face. Because I'm saying if you win at chess, you'll get the painting for free. Are you trying to slap the old man's face? ”
Cui Susu also said: “Yes! Brother Lin Yuan just accept it. ”
Lin Yuan smiled but was too embarrassed to say anything because he took the painting for free.
Cui Yunrong suddenly said: “By the way, this old man only has one condition. Actually, it's actually not a condition but something I'd like to ask you. ”
“That's... Little friend Lin, can you teach me how to play chess well. It's just that I've played with some parents, and we have won and lost there and then. But recently, I am sure they have learned some tricks and I often lose. But little friend Lin, your chess skills are more advanced than ours. If you can teach me some tricks, then I can beat them all!” Cui Yunrong said with embarrassment.
“What is so difficult? It's not a big thing actually.”
After Lin Yuan opened the chessboard, he pointed out Cui Yunrong's mistake.
Following the guidance of Lin Yuan who had a god-level chess skill, Cui Yunrong finally understood and nodded constantly.
Cui Susu looked at them as if there was a young teacher and an old student being taught and nodded her head, making her speechless.
He admired Lin Yuan even more.
His father was always slammed by his grandfather at home even though he was the deputy commander in the military.
Instead to Lin Yuan, he nodded constantly and was very happy to listen to him.
After some talk, Lin Yuan smiled and said: "That's him. But we need more time to talk about this. Old Man Cui, you can add me on WeChat and if you have time, we can proceed with the exchange of ideas about chess. ”
"okay!" Cui Yunrong immediately took out his phone and scanned Lin Yuan's WeChat.
Cui Susu also jumped up and said: "Brother Lin Yuan, let me add you as well."
"okay!" Lin Yuan smiled and let Cui Susu scan the same thing.
So, Cui Susu happily added Lin Yuan as a friend.
"OK, old man Cui and Susu, I have managed to confirm you both." Lin Yuan smiled.
Cui Yunrong suddenly said: "Little Friend Lin, I feel we are truly doomed, and I feel very close to you. In chess, our relationship can also be considered as half master-student. ”
C156 Gui Qingtong wants to propose!
Cui Yunrong was an open-minded old man. And with his relationship with Lin Yuan, he felt that the concept of generation gap was not that important.
Lin Yuan smiled, nodded, and said: "OK. Old man Cui.”
Cui Yunrong asked again: "Xiao Yuan, can I ask who the painting will be given to?"
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I don't know if you know that the May Family Banquet will be held tonight. The person I want to give is the matriarch of the Mei Family, Mei Yuxian. ”
“Family Banquet May? Mother of the Mei Family leader? ” Cui Yunrong knew a little about Jiangbei, but he was not very familiar with the Mei Family, so he asked casually.
"Old Cui, if it's okay, I'll say goodbye first" Lin Yuan said.
“Yeah, you should come to Maanshan community to visit me in the future. Or if you go to Yanjing someday, you should come see me. In Yanjing, I still have a bit of influence.” Cui Yunrong said.
"okay!" Lin Yuan nodded.
“Sister Lin Yuan, are you leaving now? Susu wants to come with you to the May Family Banquet. Can you drive me?” Cui Susu looked at Lin Yuan reluctantly.
"Susu, don't make trouble, Xiao Yuan is very busy unlike you." Cui Yunrong scolded.
“Sister Lin Yuan should chat with me more on WeChat, so I won't miss you too much. Come and visit us when you are free!” Cui Milk yelling.
"Yes." Yeah." Lin Yuan smiled and waved his hand.
"I'll take my father next time and let him go to the Lin Family to propose to you!" Cui Susu shouted again.
“You brat. You dare say that to your father and your father will hit you.” Cui Yunrong smiled.
Lin Yuan also smiled and then went to the teahouse.
After Lin Yuan left, Cui Susu looked at Cui Yunrong. “Kakek~, let's go back and help me talk to my dad. I really like Brother Lin Yuan! I want to marry him!”
Cui Yunrong touched his beard and said, “Young people today are eager to get married soon. The two of you have just met, so don't be fooled by her looks. But I also feel that Xiao Yuan is a good boy. Not only was he elegant and calm but also stable. Although it feels like he always knows our identity, but it doesn't seem.”
“Jiangbei Lin family, her background is good enough to be my daughter-in-law's granddaughter. Especially, I think he's very pleasing to the eye. Okay, I'll help you talk this over with your dad when we get back. ”
“Ya!” Hearing Cui Yunrong's words, Cui Susu jumped up in excitement and then picked up her phone and sent a message to Lin Yuan on WeChat.
…..
…..
Not long after Lin Yuan got into the car, he saw a message from Cui Susu that read that he was going to the Lin Family to propose.
What astonished him was that Cui Susu was not the only one who wanted to propose to him.
Right after turning away from WeChat, Lin Yuan received a call. The person on the other end said in a hoarse voice, "Is this Brother Lin Yuan?"
"Yes that. Who'sis this?" Lin Yuan asked.
That voice seemed a bit familiar.
“This Qingtong! Brother Lin Yuan, you fool! Why don't you even remember my voice?! I listen to your songs every day!” Gui Qintong said.
"Qingtong, why do you have my number?" Lin Yuan asked.
“I got it from someone. That's not important. The important thing is Brother Lin Yuan, you will come to our family banquet, right? I've told my mother that I want my mother to marry you. Uh! Nah! I mean, I want to propose to you and marry you!” Gui Qingtong said excitedly.
Just now, Cui Susu said that she and her father would propose to her family.
Now, Gui Qingtong said the same thing.
Well, it's okay to apply for marriage, but she doesn't like Gui Qingtong's flat chest.
What she was greedy about was the fatness of teasing Gui Qingtong's mother, Mei Yuxian.
'What am I doing?'
'How should I speak to Gui Qingtong tonight?'
'May Yuxian, I will definitely not waste my chance with him.'
'But what about Gui Qingtong ...'
After thinking about it, Lin Yuan was tired and had a headache.
'OK, just stick to principle three no, ...'
(T/N: established in April 1979 and managed by President Chiang Ching-kuo of the Republic of China, commonly known as Taiwan, Taiwan, in response to the efforts of the People's Republic of China to make direct contact with the ROC. The three principles of noes are 'no contact, no negotiation and no compromise' ( ⁇ , e, e))
After some chatter with Gui Qingtong, Lin Yuan hung up the phone.
He still has things to do.
After watching Ye Feng go to Maanshan Park today, he would definitely attend the May Family Banquet tonight.
The plot of the original novel still exists even with the butterfly effect of him coming into this world and changing the plot. Perhaps this is what is called luck, as part of the protagonist's destiny.
One after another chance always leaned towards Ye Feng.
So today, she had to make preparations for her plan at the Mei Family Banquet that she prepared two days ago.
…..
Lin Yuan went to a ceramic factory called Meihua Ceramics.
Seeing how Lin Yuan was dressed and with a very conspicuous temper, clearly not an ordinary person at first glance, the factory director immediately greeted him.
"This honorable guest, do you want to order ceramics?" ask the director of the ceramics factory.
Lin Yuan took out a receipt and said: "I'm here to pick up the clay jar. I ordered a jar of blue and white porcelain here the other day.
The factory director looked at it, then nodded quickly and said, “Oh! I'll get it for you soon!”
Immediately the director took out a blue and white porcelain jar.
While handing over the blue and white porcelain jar to Lin Yuan, the director of the ceramic factory asked hesitantly: "You ordered this porcelain jar, and specifically asked it to be burned in the burning place of our ancestors. So, even if we try to avoid it, there is still some shrinkage..”.
Lin Yuan waved his hand and said: "It's okay, all I want is the reduction of the glaze, which can only be made using the original ancestral furnace."
Glaze shrinkage refers to defects in the ceramic production process. For a variety of reasons, there will often be a local glaze defect on the surface of the glazed product after it has been placed on a fire, and that is the shrinkage of the glaze.
While looking at the blue and white porcelain jar in his hand, Lin Yuan pointed to the pile of blue and white porcelain jars next to him and asked: "Are you sure it was made according to my needs?"
The ceramic factory director glanced at the employee next to him, and the employee nodded quickly: "Yes! The ceramic jar there is a ceramic jar made for Chairman May. You said you wanted the same thing. I'm just doing as you say. Except shrinkage, you specifically ask to burn in the old kiln, the other style is exactly the same as there! ”
Lin Yuan walked over and compared the row of blue and white porcelain jars that Mei Yuxian had requested, and then nodded in satisfaction: "This is done well, looks very similar."
Satisfied, Lin Yuan paid the money.
Lin Yuan took the blue and white porcelain jar and left.
Tonight, at the Mei Family Dinner, Lin Yuan wanted to give Ye Feng a hard punch, so he could not act according to his original plot.
This blue and white porcelain jar was a sharp blade that he wanted to use to deliver a hard blow to Ye Feng!
…..
…..
At night, at the Yan Family home.
"Mom, can I wear this dress in high heels?" Yan Ruyue asked her mother Song Xuan nervously as she looked into the mirror.
